I mean you guys do you. Through the European Market access you guys have to still follow a bunch of things we decide without getting a word in it so it might not be an awful idea.

It would be a very unfair two-tiered system if the new states didn't get Vetos but the old ones kept them. Thats like the entire problem with the UNSC. We should just abolish Vetos like this in its entirety

For a moment I freaked out that they were only gonna exclude Linux and not open source in general but it seems they exclude based on the license based on this article which is a good thing. The dozens of OpenBSD and FreeBSD users may rest safely now

I don't think it would be possible to actually have a wayland compositor actually interface with the kernel and programs without some kind of mod

Thats why linux is fucking awesome (or wayland in this case). Just the flexibility to do shit like this or whatever you want

And discord somehow took everyone from skype.

The context was about coding specifically tho

Honestly aside from the nutrients the infrastructure around them is crazy. For now lab-grown meat still is very expensive but I think if optimized and produced at mass scale the cost could definitely go below what meat from animal facotries costs

That people aren't willing to even question how animal suffering has been normalized to the extent it has. I'm not fully vegetarian or vegan even if I'm trying to reduce meat consumption. But I've had this conversation with people and some don't even want to discuss this while eating arguing it ruins their appetite. I think its a great thing that Lab-grown meat could end the suffering of animals in many ways in the future. And people will look back and ask how we could ever do something so awful to animals.

What I think is sad is that for the short foreseeable future animal suffering will still be treated as normality and nothing will change until there is no reason or way it will inconvenience humans in any way to shift away. I find that morally appalling to some regard

Honestly as sad as this sounds... I think long term when lab produced meat becomes more affordable than mass-produced meat that will be the start of the time of people moving away from killing animals for nutrition in horrendous conditions bit by bit. If this perseveres some countries might even start banning the worse forms of how animals are kept

Wait i overread that thats absurf

Don't worry, more often than not its the same even for people without it. Like how tf should i know if the edge of the bicycle wheel just being slightly over the corner should be considered part of the bycicle or not

 

I know Wero is still in its infancy and the digital Euro is still a few years away, even if you believe there'll be no delays. But depending on where you live you can already do a lot for EU financial independence.

  • Use cash (very easy but not ideal in many situations/online)
  • Use a national payment providers:
    • Germany 🇩🇪: Girocard
    • Netherlands 🇳🇱: iDEAL
    • France 🇫🇷: Cartes Bancaires
    • Poland 🇵🇱: BLIK
    • Italy 🇮🇹:Bancomat/PagoBancomat
    • Many other options, check for your country
  • Use SEPA direct debit mandate or wire money directly if you can
  • Sign up to a european crypto exchange and use it for direct purchases. although I get if you don't like crypto but this is just for direct purchases

Otherwise American Payment providers usually get at least 1% and if you use card payment a lot over time that can really add up. This also mostly makes sense when buying from a european company. For US companies it really doesn't matter much. I've been trying to replace Amazon with Otto and I use SEPA direct debit mandate to avoid fees.

 

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.
